Of the structure’s 469,000 gross square feet, 366,000 will be dedicated to residential use. The property will yield 467 rentals, averaging 558 square feet apiece. Eighty-five of the units will have private balconies, which will be scattered across the northern and southern façades in a staggered and checkered pattern. The ground floor and first floor in the podium will contain 288 vehicle parking spaces as well as storage for 192 bicycles.

The closest subways are the B and Q trains at the Church Avenue station. Prospect Park is a six-block walk to the west and can easily be seen from the building, as can the skylines of Downtown Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Midtown. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge and Statue of Liberty are also visible from the outdoor swimming pool and rooftop space.

The building will contain over 50,000 square feet of residential amenities. The cellar level will have a fitness center, a steam room and sauna, a game room and golf simulator, a business center, a residential lounge, a party room, a screening room, and a large indoor swimming pool and hot tub underneath a ceiling of sparkling, hand-laid tiles. The fourth floor will have a half basketball court, a dog run, an outdoor fitness space, landscaped planters and outdoor seating, a co-working lounge, a children’s playroom, and another residential lounge. The 22nd floor will come with an outdoor rooftop pool along with a staircase that leads to more space for residents to walk around and enjoy the views of Brooklyn and the city skyline.

Dude, one building doth not a botanical garden kill. Central Park South is not a plant-free dead zone. Shadows move over the course of the day and any area hit by a shadow for a period of time will still spend most of the day in sunlight.

Shame on you for mindlessly buying into the shadow hysteria, which is so absurd and divorced from reality that it would be laughable if we didn’t live in a time when gullible people believe every piece of trash they read on the internet.

Well, Prospect Lefferts Gardens IS in Flatbush and this building is also in Flatbush, but PLG is the northernmost part of Flatbush with a southern boundary well north of this building. Flatbush is quite large and contains a number of neighborhoods.

Hello it was a typo. 123 Linden Blvd is in Flatbush, not PLG. I corrected it below but this site doesn’t allow me to delete the incorrect comment. I grew up a block over from 123 Linden Blvd and also knew it as Flatbush/East Flatbush. Never heard of Lefferts Gardens until I was older.

Why would you think Linden Blvd. is in Prospect Lefferts Gardens? Actually this is hardly a new claim. The first “PLG” house a broker showed my wife and I back in 1974 was on Linden. Even then I knew the broker was lying, just as he lied about the “brass” plumbing that was obviously lead.
